ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORTS
SATURDAY, DEC. 9, 1916
IS THIS THE LAST?
Having failed to convince the Berlin
government of its position on the
inWW of merchant ships by sub
marines, the United States govern
mnt ia Drenarincr to send another
note to Berlin. The imperial au
thorities, we may be sure, know as
much about the position of the United
States as President Wilson and Sec
retary Lansing, because the imperial
(hnnmllor has shown that he is a
very bright man. The new note,
therefore, will merely prolong the
discussion.
The Washington government ad
mits that it is unable to clear up one
individual sinking before other cases
are forced to its attention. The Ber
lin eovernment says it is ready to
make amends if its submarine com
manders have violated the pledges
civen by Germany after the channel
steamer .Sussex was torpedoed with
out warning.
(Little children remember some of
the excuses made in the Sussex case
how the submarine commander
presented a sketch of a ship to show
that he could not have torpedoed the
Sussex and after the Berlin foreign
office had brazenly transmitted this
subterfuge, was Anally cornered and
compelled to admit the awful crime.
Other cases are like unto this. Docu
ments like this have been sent to
Washington.
iNote-writing is a specialty of the
German foreign office and Emperor
William's men have been trained for
this very thing. They will welcome
a further exchange of manuscripts
with the United States. But they
would not welcome a final stand by
this country on its sound position.
President Wilson, if he should decide
to write another note, either should
take back all he has said in the past
or prepare to make good his threats.
It is evident the German government
is not taking the United States seriously.
(Mr. Taft Told the newspaper men
at Chapel Hill and the Chamber of
Commerce at Raleigh some of the
things the Record has pointed out
from time to time that the United
States has been successful in its wars
not through any great military prow
ess, but through good luck and a
weak oDnonent. We have never
tackled a first class power when it
was not battling with other big na
tions.
iBishop Kilgo is reported to have
been displeased because a Methodist
minister returned home during con
ference to perform a wedding cere
mony, and press reports intimate that
there was danger of disciplining the
brother. Our sympathies in that
case would have gone out to the
preacher.
If President Britton sits down and f'
does nothing for the rest of the year
his part, in arranging the newspaper
institute will mark his administration
as a success.
The editor appreciated an invita
tion from Ralph Ballew to be his
guest at the newspaper institute
at Chapel Hill, but it will be a year
or two yet before the editor can lose
a couple of days from his work here.
The institute, however, was worth
while.
iMaj. H. A. London of Pittsboro,
Confederate veteran and editor, has
been elected president of the State
Literary and Historical Commission,
an office which he will grace with
dignity and ability.
In deciding to erect a bronze stat
ute to John Mills, the Baptists are
planning to recognize the worth of
a man who was a pathfinder in or
phanage work in this state.
Durham is entertaining the Meth
odists and next year will be host to
the Baptist state convention, a task
that will not prove difficult for so
good a town.
It having been announced positive
ly that the next Carolina-Virginia
football game is to be played at
Chapel Hill, the stampede to Emer
son field will be as great as to Broad
street park.
And when you buy, don't send out'
of town. That is just like throwing
money at bifds. (And we know what
that is).
Jacob Hysler, a New York barber,
has quit after accumulating $300,000.
Many a man escaped a close shave.

WHEELS IN MOVIES
Portland Oregonian.
An expert has figured out why the
wheels of a moving vehicle shown on
the motion picture screen sometimes
appear to stand still, sometimes to
waver between forward and back
ward, and more often to travel back
ward. The motion picture, as ev
eryone knows, is simply a succession
of photographs taken at the rate of
about twenty to the second, and each
representing an instantaneous snap
shot. If the spoke of the wheel in

Valuable Documents
Are often lost through fire. Deeds, Insurance papers and
wills are often misplaced and cause endless trouble and expense.
A Safe Deposit Box is the best security against trouble of this
kind. The Vault of the First National Bank is equipped with
Safe Deposit Boxes to rent at prices that are trifling when
compared to the trouble and risk that is avoided. Ordinary sbe
$2.00 per year, larger sizes a little higher. We wiJl be glad to
show you these boxes at any time.
You have your own key. No one has access to the box but you,
and your affairs are absolutely private, locked in a tire and
burglar proof vault.

ENGLAND'S HOUR
There were times during the Napol
eonic wars when the little Corporal
destroyed coalition after coalition,
when he crushed Austria tnd Prus
sia in turn and Russia's armies for
good measure and demanded treasure
and provender from the vanquished.
Across the "wet ditch," as Napoleon
contemptuously referred to the Eng
lish channel, the bull-dog held on ten
aciously and on land and sea drove
the emperor's forces to the wall. Rus
sia really broke Napoleon's power,
but it was the English government
that formed the strength of the oppo
sition. There were some dreary years
in England then, but not more so
than the next year or two will be.
Britain's task is greater now than
it was at the close of the nineteenth
century, for Germany has developed
a war spirit that even the OJd Guard,
which knew how to die but not to sur
render, would have admired.
Wth Lloyd George as prime min
ister, the British empire will be com
pelled to act speedily and effectually
to prevent final downfall. The son
of hate will be chanted anew and the
"only foe" will receive the weight of
an Iron fist unless the allies triumnh.
Nobody knows this better than the
men who are being selected to guide

auing the remainder of the war.
It would be impossible to conceive
of a world calamity greater than for
England and France to lose. Annex
ation of Belgium and Serbia as ha
been advocated in Germany, and the
stripping of more territory from
France, would lead to another world
war as surely as fate. It might not
come for 40 years, but it would come
And then the United States might
oe tne corps. If England cannot
succeed in shoving the Teutons back
by next spring, the war will likely re
sult in a German victory.
Golf links in the United States are
estimated at $100,000,000, and 350,000
goners spend $42,000,000 a yearand
many of them would be mighty glad
to play at Hickory.
The wr.ppers of several of our ex
change inform us that the Congress
